CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ basketball team accomplished its goal by going 3-0 last week, but each member of the hometown flock will readily admit, it wasn’t pretty and there’s room for improvement.
The Eagles blew out Oyster River 53-25 in Durham to open the week on Jan. 6, edged Laconia 30-27 at home on Wednesday and topped Plymouth 34-29 on the road on Friday.
